About Us | ALIGNED CEO Andrew Clark and how he’s “breaking the rules”
On the heels of Insurance Business Canada magazine’s recent announcement that ALIGNED Insurance is a Top 10 Brokerage and part of an elite group of Canadian insurance organizations – word is getting out
that we do things differently and that our CEO Andrew Clark is breaking the rules.
Sharing knowledge and expertise with Canadian business leaders is one of the fundamental ways in which ALIGNED advocates and owners differentiate our brokerage. In fact, the Insurance Institute of Ontario recently invited CEO Andrew Clark to speak at their CIP Society Symposium 2017 and share his insights about why taking a non-traditional approach opens up opportunities for all.
This much-anticipated annual “full-day of professional and leadership development, featur(ed) numerous networking opportunities with insurance and business leaders. With prominent keynote speakers, expert insurance and business presenters, and an Industry Leader Panel, CIP Society Symposium…provides…a fresh outlook on where the industry is headed.”1
How CEO Andrew Clark Is Breaking The Rules
Along with two other insurance industry leaders, ALIGNED CEO Andrew Clark shared his thoughts about the rapid pace of change in today’s marketplace. Entitled “Breaking the Rules: Differentiating for Success” the well-attended session took an in-depth look at why doing things differently is so fundamentally important.
“The competitive landscape in the insurance industry has become overwhelming. With an increasing number of new entrants joining the insurance industry as well as changing consumer demographics and preferences, new non-traditional structures have emerged. How have these innovative companies differentiated themselves to attract new customers? What strategies have worked and what has surprised them? And how have regulators been responsive to the changes?”2
ALIGNED CEO Andrew Clark – A Canadian Insurance Leader
Recently elected to the Guelph Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, ALIGNED CEO Andrew Clark is well-known for doing things differently. As recently as 2014, Canadian Insurance Top Broker named CEO Andrew Clark as “Top 10 under 40″.
After a decade of working at large brokerages, Clark spotted a gap in the market, and the opportunity to better align interests with business insurance clients across Canada. ALIGNED’s fee-for-service model encourages clients to select from three levels of service: bronze, silver or gold and is a cornerstone of the organization. CEO Andrew Clark is breaking the rules when it comes to building a brokerage that puts choice first and foremost.
With offices in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver as well as a national operations centre in Cambridge, Ontario, ALIGNED is in growth mode, most recently acquiring a firm that was founded in 1998 by the merger of three well-established brokerage firms with roots that go back to 1912. People are at the heart of ALIGNED – an insurance organization that continues to set itself apart from other national brokers.
